New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon insists he will not resign despite plunging poll numbers ahead of November’s election, marking his lowest approval since taking leadership in 2021. Support for Luxon’s center-right National Party fell to 30% in a recent One News/Verian poll, its weakest showing since he became leader, trailing Labour by seven points. Even with coalition partners, National lacks a parliamentary majority, raising questions about Luxon’s ability to govern effectively if trends persist before the vote. The poll reflects growing voter dissatisfaction, though Luxon remains defiant, emphasizing his commitment to staying in office despite mounting political pressure. Analysts suggest the slump could reshape coalition dynamics, potentially forcing National to seek broader alliances or risk losing power in the upcoming election.
